THREE O FIVE

Almost DNS the race due to oversleeping. I set my alarm for 4am but it was raining and the weather was so nice to sleep so the 2nd time I woke up it was almost 5am! My 15km actually started at 6:30am but Alan was holding my bib and he ran 30km which started at 5:30am so I had to reach before that. The race was in Puchong, no way I could make it so I decided to DNS. Then he told me his gf was running 15km so she could wait for me! Luckily and thank both of them so much! But still, it was raining heavily, such a nice cozy weather, I have no idea why I wanted to torture myself to wake up so early for this. Damn! Newton 2016 Rain stopped when I left home but then it rained again when I reach Puchong. The race was still carried on though. Took my bib and warm up a little then the race started. Knowing that my form wasn't great and the route was hilly, I set my target pace to 4:40. It should be moderate hard effort but I think I over estimated myself, the last 4km wasn't as ...

这个比赛是我少数几个跑得好的比赛，所以打算写报告纪念下。本人自从作记录以来，包括这次这个总共参加过18个比赛，但只有7个是满意的，所以很珍贵下。 比赛前 没期望会跑得好，因为整个星期练习已经超高里数了。还没包括比赛差不多有80km了，加上比赛的话，总里数大概会有105km了。我自己都阿米驼佛不要受伤就好了，不期望有好成绩。当天早上睡醒的时候，脚的感觉还不是在最佳状态，有点累。也没计划要如何跑，就尽力而为就好了。用我的万能excel sheet算了算，得出我的水准应该是4:54左右，就将我的Garmin手表设定好4:50。 一大早抵达现场的时候吓了一跳，没想到这个小event还这么多人参加，还有很多高手及海外铁人也来棒场，Mark Williams和Ahmad Lamchannak（曾经在KLCC尾随他的training，结果跟不到800m）也在，一堆UPNM紧身服的也在（我两届Ekiden比赛就和他们较量过了，他们3km水准大概是9:30~10:30），看来应该会很精彩。和一帮朋友打招呼拍了照后，比赛就绪。。。 比赛开始 我和Chin Teck Sin一起pace。刚开始速度还蛮快的，大概有4:40，但是很舒服，所以就不打算慢太多下来。就一直用4:45左右的pace跑了4km。在4km过后，看到前面一堆Der Red Army军团（Daniel, Stanley and Bryan），就加快脚步凑上去，5个人一起跑。果然姜是老的辣，在Volkswagen director的带领下，我们的pace是准准4:48，我不跟表跑了。 上坡Daniel的策略是快的，下坡他放慢，不愧是King of Hill。Bryan和我是上坡稍微放慢，下坡稍微快，而TS和Stanley上坡更慢可是下坡冲着下。但无论如何前面8km我们5个人始终都跟得很贴。 8km后TS开始慢下一点。也在这时看见前几名的在对面飘过，Michael在TOP 20，快过Ronnie！9km左右 u-turn的时候，发现没有给ribbon，可以cheat了，然后竟然也没有水站！ 这个比赛很多u-turn，可以看见谁在对面，Chaucky他们也在我后面不远罢了，少过500m。就这样一直跑，Der Red Army在最后4km时变成变成剩下TS，WT，Kenny和我。WT突然加速飞掉了，我也不知...
